Month issue in SimpleDateFormat class
5 answers
I am trying to get a Date object in the format YYYY-MM-DD representing the current system date. Below is my attempt:
Date todayDate = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
String todayString = formatter.format(todayDate);
The values are as follows:
todayDate: Mon May 15 16:24:47 GMT+01:00 2017
todayString: 2017-24-15
Having tried this a couple of times I noticed the todayString is not made up of YYYY-MM-DD but YYYY-[minutes][minutes]-DD.
How might I get the current date in the YYYY-MM-DD format?
Change this:
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
to this:
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
mm stands for the minutes, while MM (capitalized) stands for the month
